Sabrina Carpenter Just Blew Up Fortnite!
Okay, so you guys are NOT going to believe this. Pop star Sabrina Carpenter? She's officially in Fortnite! Seriously. I know, right? It happened with the v34.30 update, and the whole gaming world kind of lost it. This isn't just a few little cosmetic changes either. We're talking full-on Sabrina Carpenter takeover. New skins? Check. Emotes? Double-check. Even her music is in the game now! Let me break it all down for you.
Sabrina's Epic Fortnite Skins and More
The main event of Fortnite's Festival Season 8 is, of course, Sabrina Carpenter herself! And get this – she's got two awesome skins. One's unlockable if you grab the Festival Pass, which is pretty cool. But there's also a second, even snazzier "Tour-Ready" Sabrina skin you can buy in the Item Shop. Honestly, they both look amazing. Beyond the skins, though, there's a whole bunch of other themed stuff: emotes, back blings – the works! It’s all very "Sabrina." And, the cherry on top? Several of her songs, including "Espresso" and "Please Please Please," are now in-game Jam Tracks. Talk about a mood booster!
New Weapons and Gameplay Tweaks: It's a Whole New Battle
But it's not all just about Sabrina. The v34.30 update also brought some seriously exciting gameplay changes. We've got some new weapons to play with, which is always fun. Think Golden Llamas (a dynamite and SMG combo – how wild is that?!), a Gilded Eye Drum Gun, a Cluster Launcher, a Crossbow, and a Hop Rock SMG. It's a pretty big shake-up, and I'm still figuring out my new favorite weapon. I think Epic Games really did a great job of keeping the game balanced, even with all these new additions.
| Item | How to Obtain | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sabrina Carpenter Skin (Outfit 1) | Festival Pass | Unlockable with the Season 8 Music Pass purchase. |
| Sabrina Carpenter Skin (Outfit 2) | Item Shop | Part of a bundle with other cosmetic items. |
| Golden Llamas | In-game | Dynamite and SMG combo weapon. It’s a little crazy, but so fun! |
Downtime and the Big Reveal
Of course, with any big update like this, there was some downtime. Servers went offline on April 8th at 4:00 am ET and were back up around 6:30 am ET. About an hour and a half of waiting, which felt like forever, but hey – it was worth it, right? I mean, Sabrina Carpenter in Fortnite!
